Abstract
An apparatus, method and other techniques for a wearable navigation device are described. For example, an apparatus may comprise a wristband comprising a plurality of haptic feedback devices arranged around a circumference of the wristband and logic to wirelessly receive navigation information from a computing device and to output the navigation information using one or more of the plurality of haptic feedback devices, the output comprising a mechanical representation of the navigation information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims30
An apparatus, comprising:
- a wristband comprising a plurality of haptic feedback devices arranged around a circumference of the wristband;
- and
- logic to wirelessly receive navigation information from a computing device and to output the navigation information using one or more of the plurality of haptic feedback devices, the output comprising a mechanical representation of the navigation information.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a wearable navigation device, navigation information from a computing device wirelessly coupled to the wearable navigation device;
- and
- outputting a mechanical representation of the navigation information using one or more of a plurality of haptic feedback devices arranged around a circumference of the wearable navigation device.
An article comprising a non-transitory storage medium containing a plurality of instructions that if executed enable a system to:
- receive, at a wearable navigation device, navigation information from a computing device wirelessly coupled to the wearable navigation device;
- and
- output a mechanical representation of the navigation information using one or more of a plurality of haptic feedback devices arranged around a circumference of the wearable navigation device.
